in summer. It is also furthest from the paths of most Atlantic depressions, with their associated cloud, wind and rain, so the climate is relatively quiescent. Temperature Mean annual temperatures vary from about 11.5 °C in central London and along the south coast to about 9.5 °C over higher ground

, with 20 per cent admitting that they only start winter preparations, such as checking their boiler and pipes and stocking up their freezer, in December.  This is despite the biggest cited disruption from bad weather being boilers breaking down and pipes bursting. How can you prepare for Winter

UTC on 20 July 2007 to 1200 UTC on 21 July 2007 ). This resulted in the flooding of thousands of homes and businesses and severe road and rail transport disruption across a wide area of the south Midlands. Many rivers burst their banks, including the lower Severn, upper Thames and their tributaries

of Campaigns at Water UK, said: “The recent freezing weather has been very disruptive to many people. The last thing we want is for people to experience further disruption as temperatures rise this weekend, putting many homes at risk of burst pipes due to freeze-thaw. “That’s why we’re urging everyone

of burst pipes due to freeze-thaw.  “That’s why we’re urging everyone to check their water pipes are well insulated now, and to follow our simple tips to protect homes against weather conditions. If you’re concerned about the impact of freeze-thaw or the cold weather, we encourage you to get in touch

system.  This year’s Global Climate chapter included a sidebar on phenological observations, which measure the response of the natural environment to climate drivers via the dates of bud burst, lake water chlorophyll concentrations and plant ageing in autumn. Many phenological events provide clear

combination for scientific studies. IPS/FR on LOFAR is progressing very well with good solar wind/ CME results, and preliminary heliospheric RM/FR determination. Not discussed here, but could dynamic spectra of near-Sun Type II radio bursts detected with ground-based radio telescopes be used as triggers

weeks of cold weather melt-water poured into the rivers. Many burst their banks and flooding spread across England from the south to the west, not helped by rain and severe gales which damaged buildings and created waves which pounded against and even broke some flood defences. As river levels

used ribbon and feathers to show the rise and fall in currents of air. Baldwin also noted the movement of clouds. Like his contemporary aeronauts, he believed that by undertaking scientific balloon ascents one could ascertain straightforward laws governing temperature and humidity
